Angela Davis speaks to IC about social justice

Benson and Davis then discussed the concept of abolition. Abolition is a theme in Davis’ writings, even making its way into multiple book titles, such as “Abolition: Politics, Practices, Promises Vol. 1,” “Abolition Democracy: Beyond Empire, Prisons, and Torture” and “Abolition. Feminism. Now.” Davis has been a longtime supporter for prison abolition, but also spoke about abolition in other forms.

Davis said the abolition of singular institutions will not solve larger societal issues. She referenced how the abolition of slavery did not stop systemic racism and inequality. Davis also spoke about abolition in the form of anticapitalism, referring to the billionaire class and its relation to government.

“[Abolition] is a mandate against capitalism,” Davis said. “That’s especially important given who’s really pulling the strings right now.”

“Individualism is a hell of a thing,” Davis said. “It’s so dangerous. It messes us up. When we begin to believe that we’re brilliant by ourselves, that we did all of that work, we don’t recognize how much we owe to so many others.”



Angela Davis –– an author, political activist and professor –– and Ithaca College President La Jerne Cornish spoke Feb. 4 in Ford Hall for a conversation event.

Scientists Grow Living "Replacement Teeth" for Dental Implants
"We’re working on trying to create functional replacement teeth."

Like something out of "Repo! The Genetic Opera," scientists have managed to grow human-like teeth in a lab — and implant them inside a miniature pig's mouth, in a harbinger of weird new frontiers for dentistry.

As the MIT Technology Review explains, researchers at Tufts bioengineered this fascinating monstrosity using a mix of bovine and human tooth cells that were grown inside bits of pig teeth.

The idea behind this terrifying lab-made concoction, which was detailed in a December paper published in the journal Stem Cells Transitional Medicine, is to create replacement teeth for human patients.

Lead investigator Pamela Yelick — who runs an eponymous tissue bioengineering lab at Tufts — and her postdoctoral fellow Weibo Zhang have for years been looking for ways to create dental implants that fit peoples' mouths perfectly.

Notorious Transvestigator Candace Owens Now Being Transvestigated by Fellow Transphobes

Candace Owens popularized a bogus conspiracy about the French President’s wife, Brigette Macron, being transgender. However, the tables have seemingly turned, because fellow far right transphobes have begun pointing the finger at Candace after a childhood picture of her emerged online. Other transphobes such as Nancy Mace have been attacked by fellow transphobes like Matt Walsh for making anti-trans arguments that are “DEI” coded. In other words, all of this anti-trans hysteria has also impacted the very people who propagate it. In this video we’ll discuss the climate of paranoia and hysteria over trans people and talk about how it serves a specific propagandistic purpose. We’ll also discuss how the spread of transphobia has ultimately culminated in the dangerous moment we’re in now, where the Trump administration is trying to erase trans people from existence.

Surviving an overdose can be excruciating. New research suggests it doesn’t have to be
Naloxone is a fantastic tool in reducing opioid deaths, but gentler versions would be helpful for fighting overdose

Ruyle researches the mechanisms that govern opioid-induced respiratory depression, or the slowing and stopping of breathing that makes opioid overdoses lethal. Ruyle’s recent work, published as a preprint, has shown us something truly remarkable: we may be able to reverse overdoses effectively without medication entering the brain, and based on study data, may actually avoid the pain of precipitated withdrawal altogether. The study used an experimental drug called naloxone methiodide.

It’s a simple modification of naloxone that cannot get past the blood brain barrier, essentially the brain’s security system. Instead, it can only circulate to opioid receptors outside of the brain, known as peripheral opioid receptors. His study showed that naloxone methiodide effectively reversed respiratory depression in rats that had been given fentanyl, and also the opposite — that rats given naloxone methiodide first, and given fentanyl afterwards, never developed respiratory depression.

And intriguingly, this happened without changing the rats’ vital signs and other physiologic data, leading Ruyle and his coauthors to suspect that while the rats were protected from respiratory depression, this was achieved without the notorious pain of withdrawal.

Lets take an honest look at TRUMP. A Canadian observation.
His tariff threat made it crystal clear what a weak, useless twat Trudeau is.
His tariffs also made Canadians wake up to how important it is to buy Canadian.
His tariffs made everyone aware just how serious border security should be taken.
His tariffs made everyone aware just how bad our drug problem is.
He has forced us to rebuild our military.
He has almost stopped illegals coming into USA.
He is getting rid of violent criminals by jail or deportation.
He has got rid of men playing in women's sports.
He pointed out to the morons of this world that there is only 2 genders.
He has stopped sending money and aid to countries that hate us.
NOW explain to me how after all these good things, why some people insist on bashing him?

Thanks for the generous offer to help you Rodney but I learned 30 years ago cutting firewood out in the woods, cutting it to 16" lengths, loading the truck bed up then hauling it to the house , then unloading it , getting out the gasoline powered 30 ton log splitter, then unceremoniously lifting each piece out of the bed of the truck to the log splitter to make 6 pieces per log section, then throwing them off to a pile till the whole truck bed load is all split, Then the fun part comes , haul about a cord of wood inside the house along the basement wall stacking it to look pretty. The remaining pile outside gets stacked in rows then covered with a canvas tarp. When my brother in law was still married to my sister we used to go in the woods behind the house and cut two truck loads each a month, split and stacked at each others house. The log splitter had a ball hitch to tow it to my sisters house. I did that crap for 5 years thinking it would save money but the mess inside the house with the bark and ants to me wasn't worth the effort . So I switched to oil. Installed a 97% efficiency oil furnace ran all the duct work, plenum, 8" triple wall stainless steel chimney with roof cap, installed 2-275 gallon tanks inside the house piped in line, ran teh cipper line(s) to the tank and furnace. The pump on the furnace was a 2 stage pump, ran the electric from the service box to the furnace in conduit . Bent all the offsets and 90's myself. Two things I did not do was hook up the electric, had a licensed and bonded electrician do that and had a licensed furnace contractor hook up the oil lines to the pump, bled the system of air , tune the furnace to maximum efficiency. She comes every year to tune the furnace, filters, air adjust . Now when I want to put a cord of wood on the fire I just turn the thermostat to the right a tad. But thanks for the offer Rodney ... have fun and be safe.

Recent attacks on H1-B visa holders show, once again, that the ruling class is desperate to divide workers and pit us against each other. Read now: MAGA’s House Divided over H-1B Visas

H-1B visa holders are the latest victims in a long string of vicious attacks against immigrants. The ruling class is desperate to divide workers and pit us against each other as living standards continue to decline under the crumbling capitalist system and quality jobs are increasingly difficult to come by.

The most recent attempt to set native-born American workers against Indian immigrants is yet another red herring designed to distract us from the real culprits—the capitalists themselves.

As Marx famously said, “the workers have no country.” Communists don’t accept the limits of capitalism. American workers have more in common with exploited workers around the world than with our “own” ruling class. It is in the interest of workers everywhere to overthrow the capitalist system, end discrepancies in pay, protections, and benefits between native-born and foreign workers, and democratically plan an economy based on human need rather than the pursuit of profit.

Trump Orders NASA to Purge All Mentions of Women in Leadership On Its Websites
"This is a drop everything and reprioritize your day request."

As President Donald Trump's anti-DEI agenda comes to bear on NASA, we're getting a revealing look at what his administration considers to be too woke: women.

In a directive sent out just days after Trump's inauguration, NASA personnel were commanded to excise all mentions of anything "specifically targeting" women on the space agency's public websites, 404 Media reports.

"Per NASA HQ direction, we are required to scrub mentions of the following terms from our public sites by 5pm ET today," the directive reads. "This is a drop everything and reprioritize your day request."

Fact check: $50 million for condoms in Gaza? Five big reasons to be skeptical Trump’s story is true

During her first official White House briefing as President Donald Trump’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt announced that Trump had prevented a “preposterous waste of taxpayer money.” Trump’s team, she said, used the president’s pause on foreign aid to thwart a plan in which “there was about to be $50 million taxpayer dollars that went out the door to fund condoms in Gaza.”

Leavitt’s Tuesday comments made headlines around the world. And the president himself told an even more dramatic version of the story in a speech on Wednesday, saying that “we identified and stopped $50 million being sent to Gaza to buy condoms for Hamas.”

But there are at least five big reasons to be skeptical that the story is true.

The White House offered no evidence for the story: Leavitt provided no proof for her claim that there was ever a federal plan to spend $50 million on condoms in Gaza. And when CNN asked Leavitt and her colleagues for any evidence, another White House official instead pointed us to comments from the State Department — comments that, as we’ll discuss below, did not even repeat Leavitt’s claim of a planned $50 million Gaza condom expenditure, let alone prove the claim.

In three previous years under Biden, USAID spent no money on condoms in the entire Middle East: A detailed federal report published last year said USAID did not provide or fund any condoms in the Middle East in the 2021, 2022 and 2023 fiscal years.

The report, noted by The Guardian on Tuesday, said the only Middle East contraceptives provided or funded by USAID during that three-year period went to the country of Jordan in fiscal 2023. This was “a small order of injectables and progestin-only contraceptive pills” totaling about $46,000.

Eliminating DEI and Banning Books Ultimately Hurts Everyone
Abruptly halting federal grant programs, including food assistance, attacking Critical Race Theory, and other ways to unnecessarily flex power muscles will not erase us



The 47th President has attacked our government like a bull in a china closet. He is doing his best to upend precedent and policy, as he promised that he would. He issued hundreds of executive orders, pardoned convicted criminals (like himself), manipulated the truth through websites, abolished DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion measures), putting hundreds on administrative leave, and caused more damage in just a few days than most do in a lifetime. Additionally, wholesale deportations of undocumented people have shattered families, disrupted communities, and upended some international relationships. Wow!

"Trump and Musk's attempt to disrupt aid around the world is unfathomably cruel, and the ruling tonight pumps the brakes on the destruction of a vital tool of humanitarian relief and American diplomacy," Bateman added. "The Trump administration must abide by the ruling, or it risks catapulting the entire U.S. government into chaos."

Prison Policy Initiative’s Advocacy Director, Sarah Staudt, testified in the House Judiciary Committee in the Colorado Legislature to support a bill that would guarantee visitation rights to people in Colorado prisons.

HB25-1013, sponsored by Representatives Regina English and Jennifer Bacon, would make visitation a right, not a privilege, for people in Colorado prisons. While the Department of Corrections would maintain the ability to restrict visitation for safety reasons, visitation would no longer be able to be taken away for disciplinary reasons, like as punishment for refusing work within the prison.

Visitation has numerous benefits for incarcerated people, including decreasing recidivism; people who experience visitation were 25% less likely to be rearrested within two years of release from prison. Visitation also improves the likelihood of employment after release. Incarcerated people who had family visitation had odds of finding employment almost 2 times higher than those who were not visited by family. Lastly, visitation helps incarcerated people cope with the inherent stressors of incarceration, decreasing mental health issues.

Visitation is also a key tool in decreasing the harm that incarceration causes to children and families beyond prison walls. Nationwide, half of people in prison are parents to minor children, including 80% of all incarcerated women. Incarceration of a parent is a stressor for children that affects overall wellbeing, family dynamics, poor school performance, and a heightened risk of eventual involvement in the criminal legal system. Visitation with family has been shown to lessen these negative outcomes.

In Detroit, a Broad “People’s Assembly” Forms to Guide the Movement Against ICE
In Detroit, a “People’s Assembly” of a couple hundred people has formed to debate and act on strategies to counter ICE and the Trump administration. Their example of democratic, independent self-organization is a useful model that can be followed in other cities.

In Detroit, hundreds of people have come together to form a “People’s Assembly” to discuss how to defend against ICE. In attendance were immigrants, teachers, students, workers of all stripes, and different groups on the left. During the assembly, the whole collective debated several strategies of how to push back on ICE, and then made decisions to take action. Since then, these hundreds of people have been meeting and continuing to democratically carry out the strategies and tactics. This united front assembly is an important example of self-organization in motion.

One of the things that is heartening about this experience is that there is a group of people who are committed to strengthening the democratic and independent character of the assembly. They not only understand the power of uniting the different tendencies of the Left, the union movement, and community forces, but understand that if this power is to continue, it has to be controlled by the movement itself. We should be wary of and push back against the co-optive tactics of the Democrats and the bureaucracies of the institutional nonprofits and unions who are subordinated to the Democrats.

There is also a lot of pressure to respond to these attacks on immigrants by trying to pass new legislation. Legislative measures to formally reinforce immigrant rights are important. Local and state governments that claim to support immigrants should put their money where their mouth is by passing protections and standing up against ICE. But we can’t stake our hopes in Democratic lawmakers who have so far refused to pass such legislation. Importantly, orienting toward calling representatives shift

CFF’s guaranteed income project provided $500 a month from March 2023 to February 2024 to 100 formerly incarcerated individuals.

How DEI Initiatives Can Continue in Spite of Trump

BACKGROUND: These days there are one of two things responsible for the problems facing Americans: immigrants, and DEI initiatives. Donald Trump’s administration has dropped all pretense at being anything other than a white supremacist institution, blaming everything from the devastating Los Angeles fires to the deadly Washington DC plane crash on DEI initiatives.


DEI, which stands for “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,” is the latest rightwing bogeyman, joining the ranks of Affirmative Action and the Welfare State. But what is DEI? And, just because Trump has dismantled all federal government DEI initiatives within days of taking office, does it mean the effort at racial equity must end everywhere?

Cocaine Is ‘Not Worse Than Whiskey’ And Should Be ‘Sold Like Wine’ To Eradicate Drug Cartels, Colombia’s President Says

Cocaine is “not worse than whiskey,” Colombia’s president says, while arguing that cartels could be “easily dismantled” if the drug was legalized and “sold like wine.”

During an hours-long government meeting on Wednesday, President Gustavo Petro claimed that cocaine is stigmatized and criminalized “because it is made in Latin America, not because it is worse than whiskey.”

“Scientists have analyzed this: Cocaine is not worse than whiskey,” he reiterated.

Petro said that if countries want “peace,” then they need to undermine illicit traffickers. And fundamentally rethinking prohibition could accomplish that.

“It could be easily dismantled if they legalized cocaine in the world,” he said according to a translation reported by Politico EU. “It would be sold like wine.”

Yemen Leader: ‘US & Israel Are the Real Terrorists—If You Escalate, We Will Too’ | BT Exclusive

Yemen was the only Arab country to consistently take direct military action in response to Israel’s genocide in Gaza, blocking Red Sea trade routes and launching strikes on Israeli targets. In return, the U.S. and Israel bombed Yemen repeatedly, tightened sanctions, and re-designated Ansarallah, referred to in the West as “the Houthis,” as a terrorist organization. But Yemen did not relent.

Now that a ceasefire has been declared, will Yemen stop its attacks? Will the Resistance Axis continue to strike U.S. and Israeli forces? And what does this mean for the future of U.S.-Yemen relations?

In this EXCLUSIVE interview, Rania Khalek speaks with Mohammed Al-Bukhaiti, a senior political official and spokesman for Yemen’s Ansarallah, to discuss Yemen’s intervention against genocide, the future of resistance, and the shifting geopolitics of the region.
